Chelsea welcome Arsenal to Stamford Bridge on Sunday in one of the Premier League’s standout fixtures this weekend, with both London rivals looking to strengthen their positions in an increasingly tight title race.

Iran to boycott 2026 World Cup draw over US visa row

Iran says it will boycott the 2026 FIFA World Cup draw in the United States, protesting visa restrictions that could prevent its officials from attending the ceremony. The draw is scheduled to take place in the US, one of the three co-hosts of the 2026 tournament alongside Canada and Mexico.​ Iranian football authorities argue that current US entry rules and political tensions could stop members of their delegation from securing visas. They insist that all qualified teams should be guaranteed equal access to attend official FIFA events, including the final draw.​ Officials in Tehran say they have raised their concerns with FIFA, warning that hosting a major football event in a country with strict visa limits undermines the principle of fairness.

Atalanta have set a €50m, about N84 billion, asking price for Nigeria international Ademola Lookman amid strong interest from Turkish giants Galatasaray. The Istanbul club, who already have fellow Nigerian star Victor Osimhen in their squad, want to sign the 2024 African Footballer of the Year in the January transfer window.​ According to Italian outlet Gazzetta dello Sport, Atalanta have made it clear they will only let Lookman leave if their €50m valuation is met and are not willing to lower the fee.

Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen will be absent for Galatasaray’s UEFA Champions League fixture against Belgium’s Union Saint-Gilloise due to a minor hamstring tear picked up in international duty.

Rivers State Commissioner for Sports, Barrister Chris Green, has harshly criticised Nigerian football administrators at The Big Sports Dialogue in Lagos following the Super Eagles’ disappointing World Cup playoff exit.

Kane Relishing New Bayern Role Before Arsenal Clash

Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane heads into the Champions League match against Arsenal in outstanding form, thriving in a new, deeper position at the German champions. Once solely known for his goal-scoring prowess, Kane has become more complete under coach Vincent Kompany, taking on creative and defensive duties while still producing outstanding numbers—24 goals in 18 Bayern matches, plus five in five for England.

He expressed how this added responsibility makes him “enjoy football most,” relishing both attacking and defensive contributions. Kane has scored 15 goals in 21 matches against Arsenal and remains a major threat.
